The Merediths run an organic suckler beef and tillage farm near Ballylinan, Co Laois. Biodiversity has been an important aspect of the farm over the years with the aim of farming in balance with surrounding ecosystems. The farm, located between two large stream valleys, has a significant amount of natural hedgerows , large trees and wildlife (foxes, rabbits, birds, badgers etc.). The walk will take in a large part of the farm looking at the existing biodiversity and discussing ways we are trying to improve it further (e.g. tree planting, multi-species swards, riparian zones). Tea and coffee will be provided on arrival. *** Max number of people 25, limited car parking near road but we can accommodate more in the farmyard which is accessible by jeeps
